MASVI RECORD Vol. 60 MARTHASVILLE, WARREN COUNTY, MISSOURI, FRIDAY, APRIL 11, 1958 No. 37 TH MART MKT GETS OK TO DISCONTINUE TRAINS Passenger Runs In Missouri Set To End May 1 The Missouri-Kansas-Texas (Katy) Railroad's application to discontinue its last two cross-state passenger trains was approved this week by the Missouri Public Service Comis-sion. If the order is not contested, the trains may be discontinued May 1. The trains operate between St. Louis and Parsons, Kansas R.)onville and smaller towns along the Missouri portion of the line vigorously opposed discontinuance. The commission, which held a hearing last October, issued its order of approval despite a flood of protests and complaints. Train No. 5 leaves St. Louis at 11:28 p. m. and arrives in Parsons at 11:23 the next morning. No. 6 leaves Parsons at 6 p. m. and arrives in St. Louis at 7:02 next morning. The trains provide only chair cars for passengers. There are no sleeping or dining facilities. Some customers said the line would draw more passengers if service were improved. H. II. Cunningham, mayor of Schell City, described Katy service as "terrible but necessary." He said one shipper last summer had to load his eight cars of stock before noon, but the train did not move out until 8 p. m. The trains are often late, but few people ride them even when they are on time, it was testified. Noting the Katy's claim, that its losses on the two trains totaled $166,566 for 15 months, the commission said that to require the railroad to continue its service would be "close to being a burden on interstate commerce."The commission raid it would allow the Katy t.j end the service only so long as no public need exists. "If there is a public need in the future." the commission declared, "the applicant may be required to reinstate a passenger service to meet public convenience and necessity." Rut for the present, the order said, discontinuance of the trains will not violate the railroad's charter. Since Wm. N. Deramus IT1 took over the presidency of the Katy 15 months ai'.o. the railroad has made drastic cuts in operations, and reductions in personnel, to effect economies. St. Louis Post-Dispatch Regional Demonstration Bookmobile Notes This time of year it's mighty easy to pick up a little spring fever as the Missouri State Reg ional Demonstration Bookmobile travels through the countryside. If this condition has affected you, too, and possibly brought on your needs for any of the following books they are available to you. The "Picnic Book" by Marian Tracy is full of ideas for picnic meals that can be prepared and transported with a minimum of effort. "Fly Rod Casting" by J. Edson Leonard and the "Flying Sportsman" by Dave Harbour speak for themselves. So will Henry's "Handbook of Outboard Motor-boating.""Woodsmoke" by Ellsworth Jaeger and a "Camping Manual" by Rose Drought might be useful to the inexperienced outdoor enthusiasts. The "Kitchen Garden Book" byRarr-Stand-ard is a combination of how to grow and how to cook vegetables. Ixt father read the first half and mother the last. Then there is that other group of spring dreamers who might find useful information in one of these books: "Planning for Marriage" by Butterfield, "Marriage is for two" by Strain and "Marriage a Great Sacrament" by Canon.

Radio Station KWRE will re-broadcast a doc umentary-type program aired Wednesday afternoon concern-inir the three straight state championships won by New Haven High School. New Haven has won the state Class S championship all the three years the three-class system has been in effect in Missouri, and is the first school in the state's history to win three straight high school basketball championships. KWRE Assistant Manager John Pierron will interview the players, coach, city and school officials, and Bob Burnes, sport editor of the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. A speech given several weeks ago by New Haven ayor Joy Schaffner at a banquet honoring the 1957-58 squad will also be included, with a recap of the history, recorded moments (from the actual broadcasts) of the championship games two years ago at Springfield, and several other features.Conservation Rieserve Sign-up Ends April 15 Farmers who wish to participate in the 1958 Conservation Ile-erve Program have only until April 15. 1958. to sign applications to participate, according to D. G. Monsees. Chairman of the Missouri State Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Committee. Farmers who have helo! back from signing 1958 conservation reserve contracts in anticipation of the bid procedure being offered in Missouri in 1959, as it was on an experimental basis in four other states in 1958. are ndvisod that the bid procedure has been abandoned in three of! the states as being unworkable. It appears unlikely that a similar program will be offered in Missouri in 1959 or later years. Any farmer who is interested in the Conservation Reserve Program should contact his local ASC office and sign an application for a conservation reserve contract before April 15. 1958. FOX CONTROL NEWS The Fox Control Club is off to a good start for 1958. Eighty foxes were killed the first three months. Kermit Schwerdt leads with nine; Paul Wessel. eight: Bert Mitchel eight ; Edwin Moel-lering seven. A large turnout was present at the meeting at Treloar Monday evening, March 31. Several topics were discussed. It was decided to continue the present membership fee at $1.00 but the dues for the remainder of 1958 will also be $1.00. However, the proposal to admit members from Montgomery county to join the club was defeated, therefore it will continue only in Warren county. Quite a few reports are still coming in that foxes are carrying away small pigs. Barney Peters at Peers reports some pigs carried away by foxes during the big snow. Carl Held, north of Little Village, also reports some 10 or 12 pigs carried away. Guess you can't blame the foxes since they about ran out of rabbits and quail, and the farmers have their chickens fastened in their hen houses in winter time. The poor fox has to resort to eating pigs to live. There is a rumor going around that women will start wearing furs again. We hope it is not just a rumor as we think Warren county could supply quite a few pelts. . Keep reading the Record for further news of the Fox Control club. Anyone who is not a member and wishes to join can see Ray Made or Sylvester Weh-meyer, Treloar, and Bert Mitchell or John Drosselmeyer of Warrenton.-Contri. Farmers Who Earned Wool Payment Apply By April 30 If you have sold wool or unshorn lambs since At)ril 1. 1957. chances are you have earned a payment under the Federal wool incentive program. To collect it, be sure to file an aDDlication at your County Agricultural Sta bilization and Conservation office not later than April 30, Wm. Hasekamp, Warren Countv ASC chairman, has announced. These applications, Chairman H.isekamp said, are to cover wool and unshown lambs marketed not later than March 31, 1358. If there is any detail of a sale which is not completed until after that date, the transaction goes over into 1958 marketings and will be eligible for payment in 1959. The program for 1958, recently announced, will be similar to that during the past year, with the incentive price continuing at 62c per pound. Motorists Warned To Be On Alert For Farm Tractors Missouri motorists are warned y the Highway Patrol to be on alert for farm tractors as the state enters the spring season and farming activities increase. Farmers too are urged to use extreme caution when farming operations necessitate the movement of farm vehicles on the open road or highways. Col. Hugh H. Waggoner the Patrol superintendent said, "We are informed that farm equipment dealers anticipate an increase in their business due in j 'art to the improved moisture condition of the soil. This will moan greater activities on the farms and more occasions when farming equipment must use pen roads commuting from field to field. Driving slow moving farm vehicles on roads handling fast moving traffic is perilous Col. Waggoner said and every precaution should be taken when it must be done. Even though farming operations will not reach a peak for a few weeks in Missouri there have already been several accidents involving automobiles and farming equipment, some of them reaching tragic proportions.Farm Storage Facility And Equipment Loan Programs Extended The United States Department of Agriculture has extended indefinitely the farm storage facility and mobile dryer loan programs according to D. G. Monsees, Chairman of the Missouri State Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Committee. Previously, these programs have been authorized on a yearly basis and the current one runs through June 30, 1958. Loans under these programs are designed to help farmers throughout the country obtain needed farm storage. Under these programs, farmers can borrow a large part of the cost of additional farm storage space and drying equipment. Farmers in most states can borrow up to 80 percent of the cost of new storage bins, cribs or other approved structures. The structures must meet requirements for storage under the price-support program. The loan may be repaid in four annual installments with the first installment due on the first anniversary of the loan. Interest on storage loans is at the rate of 4 percent per year. Up to 7" percent of the delivered cost - exclusive of labor costs of equipment to keep stored grain in proper condition may be borrowed under the mobile dryer loan program. The loan is payable in three annual installments with the first installment due 12 months after the equipment loan is disbursed and interest rate U at the rate Women's Guild Meeting April 2 On April 2, the St. Paul's Women's Guild held their regular meeting with Mrs. Olga Meyer as leader of the devotional part.

LATE SEEDING OF OATS "How late can I seed oats with a chance of success?" is a timely question to many farmers. Crops men at the Missouri College of Agriculture realize that a specific answer is impossible because so much depends upon the growing season ahead. The statement that "it's never too late to seed a crop un til a majority have already planted their, crop" has some merit. Reducing specific results given below to practical application. crops men say oats in Central Missouri should be planted by mid-April for grain and not lat er than April 30 for hay pasture or silage, to have a reasonable chance of a fair crop Data secured by seeding Columbia Oats at the college at different dates in 1933. "32 an : 31' shed some light on how late to seed. The growing season in 1933 wjis excellent for oats, 1931 considered go(i. 1932 a poor season through June. Seeding dates and yields by years were as follows: 1933: Feb. 28, 68.3 bu.; Marn 28. 60.6 bu. and April 12. 17.7 bu. 1931: March 26. 51.9 bu.: April 2. 50.3 bu.: and April 11. 35.2 bu. 1932: March 28. 29.0 bu.. April 7 28.2 bu.. and April 18. 22.9. These results gave a reduction in yield between first and second seeding dates varying from .3 to 10 per cent and decrease of from 20 to 30 per cent yield reduction between second and third date of planting. However, yield of the Lte seeding in the excellent year was reduced 24 per cent in a good year and 52 per cent in a bad year. Oats will not continue to grow after average daily maximum temperatures reach 80 degrees and so must be planted early enough to complete their growth by the time temperatures reach this figure usually by mid-June.

LATE SEEDING OF OATS "How late can I seed oats with a chance of success?" is a timely question to many farmers. Crops men at the Missouri College of Agriculture realize that a specific answer is impossible because so much depends upon the growing season ahead. The statement that "it's never too late to seed a crop un til a majority have already planted their, crop" has some merit. Reducing specific results given below to practical application. crops men say oats in Central Missouri should be planted by mid-April for grain and not lat er than April 30 for hay pasture or silage, to have a reasonable chance of a fair crop Data secured by seeding Columbia Oats at the college at different dates in 1933. "32 an : 31' shed some light on how late to seed. The growing season in 1933 wjis excellent for oats, 1931 considered go(i. 1932 a poor season through June. Seeding dates and yields by years were as follows: 1933: Feb. 28, 68.3 bu.; Marn 28. 60.6 bu. and April 12. 17.7 bu. 1931: March 26. 51.9 bu.: April 2. 50.3 bu.: and April 11. 35.2 bu. 1932: March 28. 29.0 bu.. April 7 28.2 bu.. and April 18. 22.9. These results gave a reduction in yield between first and second seeding dates varying from .3 to 10 per cent and decrease of from 20 to 30 per cent yield reduction between second and third date of planting. However, yield of the Lte seeding in the excellent year was reduced 24 per cent in a good year and 52 per cent in a bad year. Oats will not continue to grow after average daily maximum temperatures reach 80 degrees and so must be planted early enough to complete their growth by the time temperatures reach this figure usually by mid-June.
